Small rooms I enter.
I squat and read the scribbles.
Did fingers write these?
Oh God save me
From the substance
That are dangerous
But I think they are pleasurable
Liberate me from poisonous substances.
Oh God save my soul
From the things
That are wrong
But I think they are right
Broaden my awareness
Sharpen my intuition
Guild and lead me to glory.
Oh God restore me
Restore my lost glory
So, I won't be telling old story
That I was once on top
Just to feel among
I want to light up
Any room I enter.
(“Zero Point of Creation”, 2018, original encaustic)
There in the moment
Caught up without a thought
Captured by the sunlight,
A gust of wind, the perfume of roses
The soothing feel of water
Flowing through a garden hose
What was that
Timeless, mindless
Respite?
The gap between all moments of time
The little oblivion
That connects it all.
(6/20/26)
I’m here to regain the key
That I've lost some time ago
It’s from the house I can see
But to come I can no more
Always thought it’s in the box
Checked it out recently
I’ve found some keys in luggage locks
But of course no magic key
Guess I'll find it one fine day
Or it could be a fine night
I will not procrastinate
This time I will do it right
It'll drop down on the floor
Out of the navy blue
I shall open your green door
"In you come", I'll hear from you.
In my aging heart lies a single code
The one who holds the pass had too grown old
When death angel came, my petals fell from sweet rose
Now heart still aches for love once more to hold
Beyond the gate which now hangs thick ivy
Which weaves magic with its runners quite green
Tells my secrets of grief, loss and spicy
Tidbits that only lovers share between
My code is carved in silence, thought, plus aches
In each season that's passed a turning; heals
Me in love's part, even though heart breaks
Our wedding vows my heart and yours did seal
The garden planted now needs water so
Enter my garden where love gives warm glow
True writers write from their hearts,
because they have ink in their veins.
Words flow onto their paper,
as they go writing away.
Their wonderful imagination comes alive,
wanting their readers to enjoy their work.
Step out
Under the spotlight
Tap and Dance
Dazzle and Delight
Curtain up
The overture
The Great White Entertainment Way
The attention of Broadway
Start to Finish
Bow in distinguished
Orchestra upbeat
Dramatics and Comedy blending together
You haven’t seen anything yet
The best is yet to assemble
Audience applause
Roar of appreciation
Standing ovation
A show well done
Broadway theory among.
Why not try to write and see what I have to say,
or is it my pen doing all the talking today?
OK pen what do you have to say?
Why not try a big change and just play?
Rhymes and limericks can be fun in their own way.
Why not enter a fun contest even with no pay?
Making my mind and pen explode hooray.
KNOCK – KNOCK
evil resounds
the devil’s doorknob
to Hades impounds
POUND - POUND
the hasp in its dock
whose key to perdition
— in hand to unlock
(Dreamsleep: September, 2025)
Open to my heart, I cannot hide,
The trembling truth that bids me near,
I walk through silence, side by side
With love that conquers doubt and fear.
I can only hope that you are good,
That mercy lingers in your eyes,
For I have given all I could,
And staked my faith on gentle skies.
Because I love you—yet I know
The risk of placing all in one,
The heart may break, the years may go,
And shadows dim the tender sun.
Still, hope endures though fear may press—
Through love alone, I find egress.
I’m setting off past through the close
Towards the light of day
Move up and down, back and forth
Without a word to say
Call me abruptly just in time
I shall return as soon as
More clouds will enclose the sky
More silence heave the corners
And then you enter with a smile
The clock stroke twelve, and then..
What's happened then to you and I?
Remind me if you can.
Enter the virgins we are,
My love does say to me,
He has a mask of intrigue,
As we bask in mild glow,
We're not frigid, I guess,
Love in the afternoon,
Languid, but molten,
Let go and let love,
He's gone again,
See you, perhaps,
Love you tomorrow at dawn,
Vestals somewhen......
Halo’s Enter With Each Gaze
Eyes in dawnlight drift
halos shimmer through silence
breath remembers light
when the time comes if God was to ask
to give a reason why i should enter heaven ?
father i do not deserve anything
i have made many mistakes
and my heart aches with deep regret
but there is one thing i will never forget
Jesus came to set us free
he gave his life so i can be reconsiled to thee
only by your love and Grace
may i enter your heavenly place
not by my own works but only through your son
that i can be forgiven and a new life begun
Jesus died and rose for me
so i can be reunited with thee. Amen
I believe it is true
for it is written Amen
only by his Grace
and his gift of faith.
one day we will see his face
i am forgiven
for he died and has risen Amen
if you believe you and your household will be saved Amen
She Reigns
Tis not today which thee will fail, Harken! Harken! My harnessed veil.
Venom may sweep your gaze away. Travesty! Dare not to look my way.
O, no, but come now, lovers. Give my course gesture no bother.
Tis only, only grace bereaved, against thy spirits stripped. Bare of safety, many lips
split and garments torn from dead seas and mounts! Once there were lands of the devout.
Here, Your Majesty, inviteth thee, all who burn. Settle thine self in her welcome reserve.
This, be one and yon only command; Your Queen says, DANCE!
Yes, yes…tis exceptionally grand. I grant you favor, Greet ye to balance.
Your Quenn, sits pleased and induced to laughter.
